Hi everyone, just a friendly reminder on this issue ...
I'm not expecting really someone else to do it, but rather, if any one
knows how to write from scratch any plugin that can accomplish this, I can
give it a try ... I really do not know how to write plugins for RT, but I
do know how to programm ... any hint on this at least?
Best regards!!
Lucas
